Working with Attached SQLite Databases: Accessing Tables and Rows

This guide details how to access tables and rows within an attached SQLite database. The ATTACH command allows you to incorporate external databases into your primary database.

Steps:

1. Identifying Tables in the Attached Database:

Use the sqlite3 command-line tool. The .tables command displays all tables within your main database, including those from attached databases.

2. Examining Table Structure:

Inspect a table's schema using the command .schema tablename, substituting "tablename" with the actual table name.

3. Retrieving Table Data:

Retrieve all rows from a table using the SQL query: SELECT * FROM tablename;.
